Founded in 2002 by DJ Gregory, Faya Combo gets a new lease of life with the re-issue of those classic records coupled with some previously unreleased, rare, and more obscure cuts have been sourced and compiled, highlighting this sublime catalogue of work, while bringing it to the attention of a wider and more diverse audience.
French born DJ Gregory began his explorations into house music in the early 90s when he was making pilgrimages to New York City to soak up the city’s music scene, bringing back with him the freshest dance music from the nucleus of American house. He made a name for himself as a DJ influenced by these imported beats, appearing regularly on Radio FG in collaboration with DJ Deep. Following several successful records in his fledgling production career, including his project Africanism with Bob Sinclar on Yellow Productions, Gregory set up Faya Combo as an outlet for his unique productions. Many releases from Faya Combo have striking Afro and Latin flavours, influences sustained by DJ Gregory’s travels to Brazil and Angola to work with local artists in those regions.
The final instalment of the series, ‘Faya Combo Cuts Volume 3’ features ‘And’ and ‘Klappa’ from the original 12” release, plus a host rare or unreleased mixes and edits. The legendary Kerri Chandler features with his ‘And’, whilst Rancido provides a Deep Journey Dub of this upbeat house track with jazz motifs, and there is also Gregory’s own Late Night Reprise. ‘Klappa’ has a funky Latin-inspired edge, and this release includes both a Beat Edit and Late Night Pass from DJ Gregory.
